The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) developed this guide for new infection preventionists and other nursing home staff. Nursing homes (i.e., long-term care facilities) are critical settings for infection control and prevention. Nursing home residents are often physically frail with faltering immune systems. They are exposed to microbes (germs) carried into the nursing home by staff, volunteers, clergy, family members, visitors and fellow residents.
